OilCo team members co-author papers on the Orphan and Flemish Pass region

OilCo’s exploration group has been working collaboratively with Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to better understand the basin architecture in the Orphan and Flemish Pass region of our offshore, and how these basins formed through time.

Following the completion of this project, two papers were published. These papers will be foundational to any group entering or existing in our NL offshore.

The two papers can be found at the following links:

Tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Orphan Basin and Flemish Pass region – Part 1: Results from coupled kinematic restoration and crustal area balancing

Tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Orphan Basin and Flemish Pass region – Part 2: Regional structural development and lateral variations in rifting style
